[The] most important duty, respecting both the temporal and spiritual good of your children, is fervent supplication to God for them. Without this all the rest will be ineffectual. Means are unavailing unless the Lord blesses them. The Throne of Grace is to be earnestly implored that your efforts to bring up your children for God may be crowned with success.

We wish each of you a Happy and Healthy New Year
 

"My New Year's Resolution"
 
 
H ave more patience
A ppreciate the small things
P ractice putting others first
P ut laughter in my life
Y ell less
 
N ever put anyone down
E agerly do my chores
W illingly give
 
Yearn for knowledge
E levate others
A ssume responsibility for mistakes
R emember to smile a lot
"NEW YEAR'S RECIPE"
 
 
Take twelve, fine, full-grown months, see that these are thoroughly free from all old memories of bitterness, rancor, hate and jealousy; cleanse them completely from every clinging spite: pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness; in short , see that these months are freed from all the past; have them as fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of Time.
 
Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so many persons spoil the entire lot in this way), but prepare one day at a time, as follows:
 
Into each day put twelve parts of faith, eleven of patience, ten of courage, nine of of work (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of the rest), eight of hope, seven of fidelity, six of liberality, five of kindness, four of rest (leaving this out is like leaving the oil out of the salad, don't do it), three of prayer, two of meditation, and one well selected resolution. If you have no conscientious scruples, put in about a teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor.
 
Pour into the whole love ad libitum and mix with a vim. Cook thoroughly in a fervent heat; garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy; then serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness, and a Happy New Year is certain.
 
 
"A New Year, A New Beginning"
 
Soon we will usher in a new year
Another chance to start freshly anew
Dear Lord, this is my prayer
That my heart be renewed too.
 
I ask forgiveness for mistakes I made
Through all my yesterdays
Dear Lord, help me to start again
That I may walk closer to you always.
Lord, take my hand and walk with me
Without you, I cannot make it on my own
A new year and a new beginning with Thee
Oh Lord, I know that I will never be alone.
 
 
Have a Blessed 2006
Dave and Barbara
